Exhaust problem....Need info!
Anybody know where to order the studs (coming from the manifold/converters) to secure the front of the factory H-pipe? Maybe even a part number? I broke one off today changing exhaust systems out and now I'm stuck. Any info would be appreciated!

Same thing happened to me My brother-in-law works for a Chevy dealership. I called him and he brought the part over to me. It was in stock at that time. You likely won't have a problem getting a new stud.

I know this is an old thread but this is the only thread I could find closest to the current issue I am having.. I was trying to Unbolt the midpipe section and ended up stripping all the bolts. Luckily I was able to get three of the four studs completely out.The forth stud, upper left, got stripped away clean to where I have no way of grabbing it at all. Do you think a bolt extractor would work in my case in taking out the stud?

sorry you said threads stripped away not broken stud. Yes, center punch stud and drill stud. IF you are drilling into a blind hole you will need to judge how deep to drill. I wrap tape around bit to the depth of hole. Use smaller bit first like 3/32 then drill as big as you can without hitting threads. you might use a bit of heat , then tap proper easy out into stud hopefully it will turn out..
P.S. under no circumstance break easy out..... you will be so sorry!!!!!
